When I upgraded from PlayStation 2 and Xbox to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, I had big plans. I had one game in my backlog, and I was certain I’d finish it. I never went back to it at all.

While I’d still love to return to Radiata Stories at some point, over the past eight years I’ve built up quite the library of games. My “stack of shame” is aptly named, and I still want to finish the key titles sitting on my shelf. I need to be realistic, though. Some of them won’t get the love they deserve.

How about you? Will you make your way through your Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 backlogs before the new hardware steals all your attention? Will you leave some of those fantastic games sitting on your shelf behind as you march boldly ahead? Let us know in the comments.
